What can I professionally do if I accepted a job offer and then got another offer within my first week that I would rather take because it pays more?

Resign. It’s a job. It’s not personal. It’s business. It’s not personal. It’s business.

Tell your current employer your situation. Tell them you got another offer for $X. Tell them you would like to stay, but they will need to match the salary. They’ve already invested some money in you, so they may. If they don’t, you bounce.

Just quit. Fuck corporate america. They don’t care about you so why should you care about them

Unless you have some kind of contract stipulation, you don’t owe them anything. It’s polite, sure, but it’s your life. If you died, they would post that job the next day. This isn’t a family ya know. Jobs don’t really care about you. So do what’s best for you.
